The Macon Tigers shutout and no-hit the Trenton Bulldogs in high school baseball action on Thursday night, 7-0, although Bulldog head coach Andy Hight praised the Bulldogs continued improved play, noting only two errors and good pitching from the combination of Jesse Farmer, Colton Colston, and Avery Cooksey.
Trenton failed to get anything going offensively against the Macon starting pitcher Fry, who combined with Walker and Moore for a 7-inning, no-hit, 12 strikeout effort.
The Tigers opened the scoring against Farmer with a run in the bottom of the 2nd inning, then added to the advantage with a run in the 3rd, three in the fourth, and two more tallies in the sixth inning.
